Next street up

Do any of the new Garmin Nuvis display next street up? Not those visible at some zoom level but on one of the display bars top or bottom when not on a route.

Power cable trouble

Hi everyone.

I noticed my Garming 1450 power was intermittent.

Is there any document that explains how to disassemble the power cord?

Thanks

File System (Format) For SD Card

I know FAT32 formatted SD cards will be read by the Nuvi but has anyone tried formatting a card using exFAT? Haven't gotten around to it and was wondering if it was a compatible file system (yet).

Thanks.

Will latest map files and large JCV files fit on a 4gb card

I own a Garmin 1490lMT. Will the latest map update and new large JCV files fit on a 4gb card or should I use larger card.

I have a brand new 4gb card that I would like to use if possible.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Garmin Map Updater - Current Version

Where can we find the current version of Garmin Map Updater (the reliable software that predates Garmin Express).

The most current version that I have is v 3.1.20 and couldn't find anything on the Garmin website, but I recall they have it in an unadvertised location.

GOLF GPS ... Not the Binocular type

Hello... Looking for any insights for a GOLF GPS.

Any guidance or suggestions you can provide would be helpful.

What I have seen so far is the Watch ones are a bit difficult to use with their functions (to small), the Binocular type,,,I shake to much...lol

So really looking for one like my typical GPS...Thanks

Have a great week..

Garmin nüvi 3592LM An Android-based Garmin Nuvi

I was looking at the information on line about the Garmin Nüvi 3592LM, which is an Android-based Garmin Nuvi. Granted, it is not available for sale in the Unites States, but perhaps it will be in the future. Anyway, would this interest members here in the US?

HELP - No Side Roads After 58 MPH

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this or not, but all of a sudden my nuvi 1250 has started acting a bit strange. If I am going less than 58 MPH, all the smaller side roads show up on the screen. As soon as I hit 58 MPH, the screen changes and only shows the major roads. The screen doesn't switch back until I am down around 45 MPH. I have tried zooming in, but still no side roads.

Nuvi 660 info

I was just checking my 660 out and in the map info I see two things listed with check marks in both box's.
One says North America 2014.20 western Alaska,Eastern Alaska, Cayman Is. and the other says City navigator North America 2008 All. can I delete one of them or just let it be?

Nuvi 3590 LMT Splash Screen

Is it possible to create my own splash screen? I had done it on the Nuvi 760, but I have forgotten how I had done it. If its possible, what are the size restrictions on the photo? How do I create one?

routes

is it possible to retrieve a route from nuvi2555LMT and put it on a map such as goggle or Bing maps or save it as a file to computer thanks for the help

Tracks Display on GPS, Don't D/L to Mapsource

My Nuvi 205w, yes, it's old but a real workhorse, seems to have an issue. Lately, I can not download recently generated tracks to my Mapsouce s/w.

expired 30 garmin trial

Is POI factory's red light camera app. a completely independant app? Or is it something that can be applied to Garmin Cyclops?

Does POI have to be installed separately? And if so how is that done.?

I think I downloaded the file to a folder on my PC, but I don't understand what to do with it, because I don't see any "exe" button.

Frozen Garmin Nuvi 50LM

I have the same problem as another individual in a previous forum (mskarissamarie - 08/10/2012). Namely that my Garmin Nuvi 50LM is frozen at the GARMIN screen. Yes - I have attempted to do the Hard Reset. Here are the other points of note.... I can hold down the power button for a period of time and the unit will go "off".

garmin POI loader won't run

I chkd other threads and I don't find the exact same issue, so I started a new one. I am rebuilding my laptop system and installed POI loader. When I clk on the exe file I get nothing but a quick flash of a loading icon.
Webupdater does the same thing. Garmin Express & Mapsource both run.

Atlanta HOV Lanes

The HOV Lanes in Atlanta generally follow I-75, except in about 3 locations.

Southbound near Mile 252 and Northbound near Mile 247 and Mile 250. At these points, it diverts away from the main road, but reconnects a short distance later.

Change in routing

Just came back from a trip identical to one I took at this time last year. With the latest map update, I was routed on several roads that were different from last year, roads which really hadn't changed since them. I usually use "Shortest Route" and I'm pretty sure the routing Garmin wanted to send me was not the shortest by any means. I traveled on the ones from before and did fine.

GPS vs. Smartpphone revisited b/c of new MD cell phone law

Effective 10/1/13, Maryland drivers may be stopped for using a handheld cellphone (while driving), as a primary offense. I rarely talk on the phone while driving, keeping the phone handy in the cup holder in case a call does come in. I'll answer it quickly, briefly, and hang up. I know how distracting it is.
